I have played some more with Flash and come upon something that i would know more about.I tried to make:A scene. when I click the left mouse button on the stage an object(from the librery [graphic]) will be place exactly where the mouse is.I did not really know how to approach this, but tried anyways.
This is my code:
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, addApple);
Function addApple(event:MouseEvent):void{
//I dont know what to put here to place an object(apple) from the libery
//onto the stage where the mouse is.
};
i am makeing a poker type game. and i have come a lil stuck. i have 8 players around a table. i have a player class that creates a new player when a button is pressed. the prob is io can get all the players cards x & y pos in lines like on the same x or same y axis. but how would i make the cards deal around a table. would i have to work them out and write x & ys for each player or is there another way?
View 4 Repliesin short, i have object A, a container. Within this is object B (a child object) which has some x and Y offset that I input.I need to know the offset of object B, because i want to place other objects at the same onscreen position as B, but on the same level of the heirarchy as object A My problem though, is that B's offset from A isn't changing when i would expect it to - when the parent object is scaled. I set B's x offset to 200 pixels, and no matter how much i scale up or down the parent object, B remains in the same visual position relative to it. And B's x property is still 200, regardless of parent scale.This information is not meaningful to me, because i know that B's actual offset position from A is more or less than 200 onscreen pixels. I need to be able to figure out exactly what it actually is.

View 17 RepliesI am trying to place an array of objects onto a stage where they drop vertically. I have been able to do it by placing the array objects into an object called "bag" but have found that the bag object only contains the last array object id so I can not apply actions to various array objects. Also my objects do not loop and only appear once.
Below is the code so far.
var tempArray:Array = new Array(); // Stores randomised values
var bagArray:Array = new Array("gslow_id","gshigh_id","glow_id","ghigh_id","gdiv_id",

I have all the functionality that I want. The basic premise of this exercise is that youth will grab a statement, drag over a microphone and it'll appear on the corresponding area (board1, board2, board3). So if they grab two statements in a row it'll place their answers at my predetermined spot. Is there a way to space each answer by a difference of 10 px? So they grab answer one and it'll go at (x) 75px, answer two will go to (x) 85 px? Basically ensuring that the mc's will not overlap or pile up.
Code is below:
// listeners
backbutton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, backclick);
helpbutton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, helpclick);
answerbutton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, answerclick);

In my current project I'm building a waterfall. Each drop in the waterfall is generated from the waterfall.as class and added to the stage via addchild. Now I have a mask that I want all of those drops to use however I can't seem to get this to work. I've tried placing the mask on the timeline and I couldn't seem to access the mask from the waterfall.as file. I've also given the mask it's own class and added it dynamically to no avail.
View 7 RepliesIE 8 Flash CS4 v10 Windows XP Home SP3 (NOTE: The word "Resize" refers to an HTML change of the movie size; it does not refer to a Window resize)
Objective: Display a transparent 800x600 flash movie in IE, stretching movie to 100% width and height of webpage but keeping the objects within the movie from getting re-scaled. Objects are re-positioned at runtime via ActionScript with values meant to be relative to stage dimensions.
Problem: The movie resize is messing up the object re-positioning. The movie is indeed stretching to 100% of the width & height of the browser window's client area, but the objects are repositioned relative to something else (perhaps screen dimensions, but not sure). Result: Objects which were programatically positioned relative to original stage size are spaced way too far apart in IE, in some cases off the screen entirely, though they were not like this in the Flash editor.Question(s): Why are objects which were positioned within the original stage dimensions being kicked off the browser screen while the movie itself remains entirely on-screen even after resize? What dimensions/values are guiding the automatic post-resize repositioning of the objects? (These proportions appear to be different from the change in proportions of the movie itself.)
I have somme mc's on the stage an I want thatto change on mc with antoher by clicking on them. For example if I click on mc1 and than on mc2 than they schould change the positions.
View 1 RepliesDoes one normally use some sort of wrapper object to do so?
For example, if I have an array with 10 elements (for example, images that are gonna be linked), I can loop through the array and add them to stage with:
myArray[i].x = i * myArrayElement.width;
What if I wanted to position all of the elements yet keep them in the same positions relative to each other.
Can you do so with an array, I gather the answer is no. So if that's right, do people throw an Array into another object and the use that objects x property?
how to attach two objects (movieclips), with different width and height properties into the stage, with random positions,without visual colliding.

i have a small challenge calculating and evaluating a predefined path
here is my challenge in short.
- i got a path as a single color line on a white background (bitmap object but could as well be a vector shape)
- the path is a closed loop path (like a twisted and bend circle, let's call it a bean shape).
- i then need to move an object along this path in x steps but only once and stop exactly where it started
This means, i need to:
- find a start end point
- calculate the length of the path
- set keynodes along the path with X amount of spacing between (length/x)
- it got to be semi precise (within 1-2 px.)
one idea could be to loop throught the pixels till to find a color pixel and use this as the starting point, then use an vector with a predefined length (ex. 5 px) "rotate" it till it find a new color pixels and mark this as a new node, repeat the process till you get close to the starting point, and by using Trial and error you'll eventually have mapped the path, but this method is clumsy and not very accurate, if you don't hit the starting point spot on the first time, you'll recalculate everything over again.

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to build a functionality into a Flash app, which would calculate the number of days that have passed since a defined date.
The idea is that a start date would be defined in the script (in whatever format) and the application would count and return the number of days since that date. According to that number the app would determine the availability of a set of links listed in the style of a calendar. I'm gonna be using a date variable from my servers to determine the current date.
How should I proceed with this? How should the varying number of days in months be handled? What about leap year?
I need to create a small dice game in Flash. The random number generator is external and I have to create a 3D realistic dice animation with that outcome. I'm using Away3D engine and JigLib for physics. So far the best idea I've had is to do many simulations and create a list of outcomes and their corresponding input parameters (initial position, initial orientation and the forces added to the RigidBody). This is not working so well. Sometimes for the same parameters the outcome is different. What is the best way to do this?

View 1 RepliesI am new to Flash & ActionScript 3.0 platform.My issue is: I am loading an image onto the stage dynamically using Loader & URLRequest classes. Whenever I click on existing circle[which gets created when I click on the loaded image, which is of Sprite type], the size of the circle should be increased to some extent(let us assume, basically circle(Sprite)is created with radius=3 when we click on the image, but, when we click on the created circle, it's radius must be increased to 5). It is the requirement.
So, for this to implement, Do we have any property or method to change the Sprite object's size directly?
